For this joke , the reader needs to know that Lipchitz and Epstein were famous sculptors.

       You knew that? Well I didn't know, I'm sorry, we hadn't been intro...........anyway,

      A guest arrives at the day-after-the-bar mitzvah dinner. She surveys the opulent scene, the mouth-watering food, and in the centre of the main table, a life-size sculpture of the bar mitzvah boy loving created out of chopper liver.

    "What do you think of the sculpture of my boy Bernie?"

    "I've never seen anything like it," says the guest,"Who did it? Lipchitz or Epstein?"

    "Lipchitz, of course!" replied the mother," Epstein only works in egg and onions."
